U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that the escalating confrontation between India and Pakistan is “fundamentally none of our business,” making clear that Washington will not intervene directly in the dispute.

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Vance added that the United States lacks the ability to control the two nuclear-armed neighbors and does not expect the standoff to spiral into a nuclear exchange. He urged New Delhi and Islamabad to de-escalate and pursue diplomatic engagement.

Tensions between the South Asian rivals have surged following India’s cross-border offensive, dubbed “Operation Sindoor,” which prompted retaliatory strikes. Vance’s remarks signal the Trump administration’s intention to keep U.S. forces out of the conflict while continuing to call for restraint on both sides.
